UNT Adopts LyndaCampus – an Expansion of Lynda.com

LyndaCampus is Now Available to all UNT Students and Employees

Sept. 1, 2016 – The University of North Texas has adopted LyndaCampus, an online library of thousands of video tutorials, which expands the university’s use of Lynda.com. The online learning platform now is available to all UNT faculty, staff and currently enrolled students, announced the University Information Technology office today.

Established in 1995 by Lynda Weinman, Lynda.com was acquired by LinkedIn in 2015 and continues to provide an extensive online catalog of instructional videos and supporting resources covering the latest technical, creative and business skills taught by experienced educators and recognized industry experts.

LyndaCampus provides specific features for higher education and offers thousands of Lynda.com courses on Microsoft®, Apple®, and Adobe® products as well as professional development areas such as project design and management frameworks, data analytics and logistics. New videos are added each week with fresh content to help keep skills current. LyndaCampus also includes closed captioning and searchable transcripts of the learning material for increased comprehension and ease of use.

The upgraded service now will provide UNT students and employees with 24/7 online training that can be used from campus, home or on mobile devices. For more information about how Lynda.com is used in higher education, see https://www.lynda.com/academic/higher-education.

Access to Lynda.com simply requires clicking on the green button labeled “Lynda.com Sign In” and entering a valid UNT EUID and password.
